Writer refuses to let facts define opinion

A recent Fence Post letter alleged that Barack Obama has such global influence that he, and he alone, by his election, had produced the very welcomed drop in gasoline prices we are currently experiencing.

Thus, Barack Obama, even before he's inaugurated, "has made every American's life alittle easier."

If that letter writer is paying for that information, he had better demand his money back. Either that or he's been reading too much Obama propaganda.

The Daily Herald had a very illuminating article just the day before (Dec. 18th) in the Business section that very clearly showed the "why" of the declining gasoline prices. Mr. Obama's name was never mentioned in that article, not even as an aside.

Rather than repeat what the article said, I will leave it up to the writer and the other Obama minions to read that most valuable and available information and see the facts for themselves. However, I don't have much hope that they will seek out the real facts since the letter writer and others like him who share the same ideology, always show a marked determination to avoid facts, especially those facts which correctly contradict their most cherished yet always unsubstantiated articles of faith.

It never ceases to amaze me how some people do not let little things like facts get in the way of their public pronouncements.

Could it be that those "pesky" little things knows as facts just don't let some keep their myopic views of the world?
